[QUOTE="Oni, post: 214783, member: 380"] Wow, with all the people that are always talking about how they would like a skill based magic system I would have thought there would have been a couple more replies. Anyway, as for the spells per day I have a couple of different thoughts on that. I have always thought a set number of spells per day as being very artificial feeling so perhaps that is not limit on the number of spells per day. I think this wouldn't not be too dangerous with what I have written so far as in any given round the chance that spellcasting is going to fail is pretty good. It goes toward making up for the very large drop in effeciency in spellcasting as opposed to the slot system. As there is no chance of failure they can just cast the spell whenever they need it, thus the reason for a certain number per day. Alternately after casting a number of spells equal to their class level you start adding a cumulative +1 to the casting DC's until they can no longer cast. I think though you'll find that the skill system doesn't stand up very will next to the slot system when you limiting it to much, it needs to gain in some other way to make up for the lack of efficiency. and of course suggestions would be great, cause maybe i'm just missing that great idea this needs.
